Matt.

Yep I'm with you on that one. I usually have to travel back from work somewhere in the country for our Tuesday nights games and right now, I can't be bothered.

Matt - that's exactly how I feel right now, but you know what ? We'll both be there ......

Anyones view changed after tonight?

Yeah, Alan Knill's. The total f*ckwit.

No - sadly, that is it.

We're not going to claw back 8 pts in 14 games.

Too much to do now. Unfortunately we are heading for the conference. I think it is time for Hargreaves to start deciding who he wants to keep for next season - maybe blood a few of the youngsters (Craig, Yeoman, Thompson, Sullivan etc) to see whether they will sink or swim.

Well Matt - were you there ?? Yep - so was I !!!

It's all very depressing but it's nice to see Mr Knill doing so well at Northampton. Six points behind us when he joined them and now they are two points ahead. Always nice to see ex-Torquay people do well.

In fact a glance around the football scene shows many ex-Torquay personnel doing well, and really that has always been the way.

Perhaps as a player or manager it's what they all want to be. Ex-Torquay

I've voted for staying up, based solely on dreaming for another great escape, and the signing of big Enoch.

I know, daft innit? They reckon Crystal Meth is the most addictive thing going, but you and I both know that's bollocks...

Is it nice to see? This 'nice to see' means we are in a worse predicament and it is one of Alan Knill's making. What a shame that -this manager you think is doing so well - couldn't do it when he was here and instead is the architect of our demise.

Anyway - I suspect it has more to do with Chris Wilder at Northampton, than Alan Knill.

Oh dear Mr Hector you are just so predictable! The post was a little Bondish in that it was For Your Eyes Only and I can celebrate as you have won me a fiver for getting your reply virtually word for word correct.

FACT
Last 5 games under Mr Knill 7 points .... good enough to stay up.
Our last 5 games 4 points .... not good enough to stay up.

I have just about got to the stage where I am going to hold you personally responsible for our relegation to the Conference for leading the Anti-Knill Brigade.

You are though absolutely right about Chris Wilder. A very experienced manager and a good judge of people in the world of football. On taking on the seemingly impossible job of getting Northampton off the bottom of the table he looked around for somebody with the skills and experience to help him do it. He chose Mr Knill. It seems his judgement was sound as Northampton have turned around 8 points on us in the last 5 weeks.

I am sure you are a really nice bloke Mr Hector, but in football matters I confess that I would prefer to back the judgement of Mr Wilder.

I certainly haven't given up hope yet.
Have seen many Torquay miracles to stay up over the years and this could yet be another.

We are doomed. Good point against Burton, you think we might have turned the corner, then we go to Hartlepool, and at time of writing, we lose 3-0. Not gonna be good enough, I'm afraid.

Anybody's views changed? What a win!!
